Subject: [PATCH v2 02/47] mm: shrinker: remove redundant shrinker_rwsem in debugfs operations

The debugfs_remove_recursive() will wait for debugfs_file_put() to return,
so the shrinker will not be freed when doing debugfs operations (such as
shrinker_debugfs_count_show() and shrinker_debugfs_scan_write()), so there
is no need to hold shrinker_rwsem during debugfs operations.
